Young entrepreneurs invited to apply for grants

MCLEAN, Va. – Know a young person between the ages of 16 and 25 who has demonstrated an enthusiasm and passion for an innovative idea or project? Are they working or developing new ideas in areas such as music, the performing arts, technology or entrepreneurship?

The nonprofit group, Hunter Brooks Watson Memorial Fund, is seeking grant applications for its June 15 cycle of awards. These grants, up to $5,000 each, are not scholarships for academic studies, but rather direct financial support to assist innovative young people in bringing their ideas and projects to fruition.
